Hello everyone, Well, yesterday I found a terrific boombox. I was very impressed with it. It has everything I'm looking for, and even some things I wasn't looking for. It's an IWA. To be honest, it sort of looks like something from outer space, but that's alright. <smile It has virtual surround sound, which I didn't even know boomboxes had these days. It sounds really good though, even when you turn the virtual surround sound feature off. I forgot to check and see if it had an earphone jack, so I hope it does. I noticed that they seem to be removing these in some boomboxes now, as well. Which I think is rather odd. I'm hoping that I won't get that bleed in from the NPR station. I did test the radio, but because of where this store is, they were only able to pick up a couple of channels. And that's how it was at Wal-mart also. (these two stores aren't far from each other). Anyway, I found it at Circuit City, and the people in there were very helpful. I tested the tape recorder to see how it would record from radio, and it did well. There wasn't any background noise, like you might find with some. However, I do think the recording could be a bit better, but this isn't bad at all. I have to admit that it does sound better than what I got from my old boombox. This IWA is apparently a new model. I don't have the model number right now though, or I'd share it with you all. I can tell you though, that the price for this boombox is around $90.00. Now for the bad news. After I looked at it, and decided to buy it, the young man who was helping me, went to get one. I had just been looking at their display model. Well, they were out, and so I had to special order one. The bad news is, that it can take as long as a month for them to come in. I asked if I could have the one on display, and I could have, if someone else also hadn't special ordered one. I thought that was an interesting policy, but it does make sense. Although, how is that other person, ever really going to know what happened to the display model. So the more I think about it, that policy doesn't make much sense. <smile Another thing though, that is rather interesting, is that if you order something, you either have to put part of the payment down then, or you can go ahead and pay for the whole thing. I had know idea that Circuit City did this. I'm surprised that other places don't do this. But then again, maybe they do, and it's just not something I've ever noticed before. Thanks to all of you who gave me good recommendations. I do appreciate it. And as soon as this IWA is here, I'll give you more details, if anyone is interested. Terri
